Met a guy who conducted analysis for trading violations from Credit Suisse for 18 years and now is doing it privately.
He said Bitcoin seems like a pyramid scheme to him and that’s why all the hype is needed. To get more people in.
Another guy specializing in AML thought Lightning was a product of a company. Couldn’t understand why it’s needed if base layer or tradefi products can do T+0.
There are so many that don’t seem to know even the basics.
I don’t argue back. Sometimes I ask a follow up question. But I think they at least respect me because I don’t get defensive about it. And they’re forced to sit with whatever they declared.
Is 100 hours a real baseline to be able to absorb what Bitcoin is and does?
